Tarquin Gross predicted a tough tournament coming at a time when the national junior team is in Zambia for the Lusaka Championships.

The team of five players (four and a reserve player) is scheduled to train on Zambian horses today and tomorrow before the battle royale commences on Saturday.

The team includes handicap 2 Jadini Nzomo, handicap 1 Ben Stonewigg, Tom Stonewigg(0.5) and William Millar (0.5) while handicap 0.5 Megan Griffiths is the reserve player.

The conclusion of the Bwana Beg Championships will pave way for two 6-Goal and 14-Goal international championships at Nairobi Polo Club on September 13-15 and September 20-22 respectively, according to Nairobi Polo Club Vice chairman Raphael Nzomo.
